In fact, your humble SCREEN-L owner/coordinator/moderator welcomes TV studies topics because that's the area he mostly works in himself. (Man, where did that schizophrenic third person mode come from? I think I may have been owning/coordinating/moderating a bit toooo long.) It's the old "range of topics" issue: SCREEN-L's topics (within the general heading of film/TV studies) are determined by its membership. If you'd like to see something discussed, set your fingers a-typing and fire up a thread (if you'll excuse my mixed metaphor...). ---------- Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended. --George Bernard Shaw-- ---------- | Jeremy Butler - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [log in to unmask] | | SCREEN-L Coordinator | | Telecommunication & Film Dept * The University of Alabama * Tuscaloosa |
